Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CL2 Rectangular Magnetic Actuator?

The Carlo Gavazzi CL2 is a compact rectangular magnetic actuator designed for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic proximity sensors. Part of the CL series of magnetic units, it uses a permanent Alnico magnet housed in a durable plastic rectangular body to provide reliable non-contact actuation in industrial sensing applications.

The CL2 measures 44.5 × 12 × 9 mm, providing a low-profile magnetic target that can be installed alongside compatible magnetic switches and proximity sensors. Its rectangular design supports side or front operating modes, providing flexibility when positioning the actuator relative to the associated sensor.

Designed as a passive magnetic actuator, the CL2 requires no electrical supply or wiring. Carlo Gavazzi specifies a minimum separation of 20 mm between adjacent CL2 magnets, helping prevent unwanted interaction when multiple magnetic units are installed within the same application.

Key Advantages

  • Compact 44.5 × 12 × 9 mm rectangular magnetic actuator.
  • Designed for operating compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic proximity sensors.
  • Permanent Alnico magnetic material provides dependable passive actuation.
  • Durable plastic housing for industrial installations.
  • Supports side or front operation for flexible sensor positioning.
  • Requires no external power supply or electrical wiring.
  • Compact, flat format simplifies mounting in space-conscious machinery and equipment.

  • EAN: 8032529965609.

Reliable Magnetic Actuation for Non-Contact Sensing

Magnetic actuators provide a simple and reliable method of operating magnetic proximity sensors without physical contact between the actuator and sensing device. The Carlo Gavazzi CL2 contains a permanent magnet that generates the magnetic field required to actuate a compatible sensor as the two components move into the appropriate operating position.

Because the CL2 is a passive component, it requires no wiring, power supply or electronic configuration. Its compact rectangular housing and support for side or front operation make it suitable for detecting the position or movement of doors, guards, panels and machine components when paired with an appropriate Carlo Gavazzi magnetic sensor.

Typical Applications

  • Magnetic proximity sensor actuation.
  • Machine position detection systems.
  • Door and panel position monitoring.
  • Industrial automation equipment.
  • Non-contact switching applications.
  • Moving component position detection.
  • Equipment and machinery monitoring systems.
